The well-documented effectiveness of lactic acid, the most gentle of all AHAs, is combined with ultra-hydrating essential oils to create a face exfoliator that thoroughly removes dead skin cells, refines skin texture, minimizes the appearance of fine lines, and deeply moisturizes.

Coming to the prices of individual items: 

1. Illuminati cosmetics – ILLUMINATI X ISA Eyeshadow Palette $48
2. Kosas – Color & Light: Crème Cream Blush & Highlighter Duo $34
3. Go to Skincare – Exfoliating Swipeys $35
4. Clarins – Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch $39
5. Laura Geller – Fifty Kisses Lip Locking Liquid Color $21
6. FENTY Beauty – Brow MVP Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler $20

This is probably the worst box of the year. I was sorely disappointed to see the products in this box. The Illuminati palette is a dud and the color pigments dont really show up on Asian and dark skin tones. Lip glosses are just not my thing. The only saving grace of this box is the Kosas duo palette and Clarins cream. 

If I total up the prices of all items in the box, it amounts to $197 whoch roughly means Rs. 31,520 in Pakistani currency. I received this box for Rs. 9000. The items are worth the price but not really what I would preferably use on frequent basis. 

Hope you liked the unboxing post. Stay healthy and beautiful. xoxo!!!
